Yamada followed XingKe and the other forces through the Avalon searching for the hostages. He looked to his left, and saw Gigi running beside him. She had her long black hair pulled into a ponytail. The straps that were wrapped around her arms were cinched closed, securing the lose sleeves to her arms. Her outfit was reminiscent of C.C.'s, being a full white outfit that looked like an undone straight jacket, with thigh high white boots. Yamada looked back ahead of him, turning around another corner. He found himself once again remembering his past. He remembered back when he first met this immortal witch, G.G.


Yamada was walking around the school courtyard when he saw a nice opening amongst the flowers. He walked over and sat down on the soft grass. He leaned back and layed on the grass. The ground was soft and warm. It was such a refreshing feeling with the gentle spring breeze blew over his face. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth surrounding him. School had gotten out just a little while ago, and he was going to enjoy to the day to it's fullest. Milly decided not to have a Student Council Meeting that day, which meant he was a free man. Around fifteen minutes had passed when he heard movement behind him. He cracked open one of his eyes and looked around, when he suddenly felt moisture envelop him. He quikly got up and coughed as the liquid went into his throat and his lungs. He looked down and realised it was only water, but it was still rather annoying. He looked off to see a group of students holding a hose aimed at him.

"No one wants you here ya damned Eleven! Just go home!" one of the boys shouted.

"Yeah! Your only here because Britannia showed you some pity!" another shouted. The small group erupted into laughter. They threw their heads back while continuing their uproar. Suddenly one of their faces was smashed into by a a wet fist. Yamada glared through his damp bangs, his dark blue eyes looked evil and menacing. One of the boys went to aid his fallen comrade while the other glared at Yamada.

"You little bitch! I'll show you what happens when you mess with a Britannian!" the boy jumped at Yamada who stepped out of the way, causing him to crash to the ground. "Why you?!" the man got back up and threw a punch at Yamada who simply moved his head, avoiding said fist.

"If you wish to hit me then don't be so predictable." Yamada uttered, his eyes still looking demonic.

"Like hell I'll take advice from a damned Number like y-augh!" the man was cut off by a fist in his stomach. He doubled over in pain, and soon fell to his knees.

"Anyone else!" Yamada shouted. The other two boys ran to their friend's side and picked him up.

"Damned Eleven." one muttered. The three boys ran off. Yamada relaxed a bit and looked down at his soaked clothing. He needed to go borrow some clothes. He walked back towards the schools dorms. Even though he lieved in his own apartment outside of the school's grounds, he still had a dorm. He got to his dorm and unlocked th edoor. The door opened and he looked at his rommate sitting on his bed reading. The two arely saw each other except for classes. They never talked. Hell Yamada didn't even know his name. He was sure the boy didn't know Yamada's name either.

"Hey" Yamada said quietly.

"Yo." the boy answered, turnign the page in his book. He glanced at Yamada and saw he was soaked. "You okay?"

"I'm fine." Yamada went to his closet and closed the door. He changed out of the wet clothes and put on his spare uniform. He came back out a few minutes later with a bag in hand. "See ya."

"Later." the boy uttered again.

Yamada walked back out of the dorms and made his way in the opposite direction of where he was, hoping that no hardcore Britannian supporters would find him. He began thinking. "Dammit Lelouch why'd you have to be here? This school is just so damned annoying! The students, the staff. They all take pity on me for being an 'Eleven'. If only these bastards knew who the hell I was. If they knew either of us was a prince, then, oh then they'd respect us."Yamada thought angrily. H quickly shook his head. "No. No! I can't think that! That life is precisely what I want to get away from. That's precisely why I got myself banished here! I reject the crown! I reject father's views! I reject Britannia!" Yamada shouted his last thought.

"You reject such a power?" a female voice sounded. Yamada looked to his right, startled by the voice. She was about ten feet away from him. She had long black hair pulled into ponytail, held in place by a thin white ribbon. She had dark green eyes and pale skin. She wore the Ashford Academy girl's uniform. Sahe had a small box sitting next to her. She reached in and pulled out a sandwich. "Are you hungry?" she out streched her hand, offering Yamada the sandwich. He wlaked over and gently took it from her hand.

"Thank you, Miss...?" he trailed off as he bit the sandwich.

"G.G." she said quietly, biting the sandwich she held.

"My name is Yamada Kazuma. Now, G.G.? That's an odd name, isn't it?" he asked.

"And First Rice Field of the Mountain isn't?" the girl bit her sandwich. He turned to her, a little surprised she knew what his name, translated, meant.

"You speak Japanese?" Yamada asked.

"I speak English, Japanese, French, Italian, and some German." G.G. said calmly. Yamada stared at her, his mouth agape. "Tounge off the floor." she said quietly. Yamada blushed and quickly closed his mouth.

"Wow. I only speak English and Japanese. Where'd you learn to speak that many languages?" Yamada shoved the last bit of the sandwich into his mouth.

"I don't need to answer to you." G.G. picked up a book from her side and opened it to a small bookmark. "You can another if you want." G.G. pushed the small box towards him. In it where two more small sandwichs.

"Ari-arigato G.G." Yamada picked one up and bit it.

"Ne pas le mentionner." she responded.

"Pardon?"

"It's French for don't mention it." she turned the page. "Why are you all wet anyway?"

"As to quote you, I don't need to answer to you." Yamada ate the last bit of the sandwich.

"Then can you at least tell me what's wrong?" G.G. put the book down.

"No, I won't." Yamada pulled his knees to his chest, folded his arms and rested them on his knees.

"Maybe I can help you." G.G. layed back on the grass, her arms sprawled above her head, her knees raised from the ground.

"You can't help me. Quit asking what's wrong with me. I don't want to talk about it." Yamada stood and began walking away.

"Why don't you want to talk about Lelouch, Kenneth Ki Britannia?"

With that one statement, Yamada froze. His body visibly stiffened. His eyes went wide, and his face paled. He quickly regained movement and quickly dove at the girl, pinning her to the ground.

"What did you just say?!" Yamada shouted at her.

"I called you by your real name." Yamada snarled at her. "They called you Little Kenni back then, when you were still at the palace didn't they?" G.G. said smirking. Yamada pushed harder on her wrists. "Then I am correct. You are the former 13th Prince and former 19th heir to the throne, Kenneth Ki Britannia. Oh my oh my, Lady Rosaline must be so worried about her son. She must miss you terribly." Yamada dug his nails into her skin, he felt a thin stream of warm liquid run down his fingers. The girl was bleeding.

"How the hell do you know who I am?! How do you know of my mother!? Who the fuck are you?!" Yamada shouted. His eyes were dark with a great anger. His knuckles were white from the force he was exerting on the smaller girl. Her face was expressionless. He looked at his hands and saw the blood. He released her arms and pulled himself away. "Answer me dammit!"

"I will as soon as you promise me something." G.G. said still laying down.

"What?!"

"Tell no one of this." she raised her hand in front of his face. He looked at the small openings in her skin. Soon, they grew smaller, the blood coming form them soon ceased, and the wound was gone.

"What in hell are you?" Yamada stood and backed away from the girl. She wipied the blood from her hands on the grass and stood.

"I have been called many things. I have been called an abomination of life. An immortal demon that can not be killed. My personal favorite has been an immortal witch of trickery and evil. But in all actuality, I am all of these, and none of them." G.G. walked towards Yamada, he found himself unable to move. He just stood as the girl grew closer. She was inches from him and she stopped. "I am not accepted in life, and yet I am denied death. So Kenneth do you wish to tell me what is wrong?"

Yamada just looked down at the slightly shorter girl. Her dark green eyes still stared at him emotionless. "Tell me something first, what are you?" G.G looked at him then looked away, stepping back a bit, she looked at the sky.

"I'm a holder of the Code. A contractor."

"What does that mean?" Yamada asked in almost a yearning tone.

"You shall know what this means in due time. Now please tell me what's wrong." G.G. sat back down. Yamada sat next to her, repeating the position he had been in a few minutes ago. There was a long pause before he said anything.

"If you know of my past, you know of Lelouch as well don't you?" ymada looked at her, she nodded. "And how his rela sibling is Nunnally?" she nodded again. "And that right now Nunnally is not here and that someone named Rolo is pretending to be Lelouch's sibling?"

"I know all of this, get to the point." she said, a little annoyed. Yamada was a little surprised that she showed some emotion.

"I want to be able to bring him home. I want the power to bring him home, to bring Nunnally home, to make sure my siblings are safe." Yamada looked up at the sky. "But in order to do that, to even get close to either of them. I can't be myself, and yet, I need to be everyone else as well."

"So do you want the power to do that?" G.G. asked.

"Please, how could you possibly help me?" Yamada stood up and took a few steps. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and met the girl's serious gaze. "Please let go."

"If I can grant you your wish will you grant me mine?" she asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Just answer!" she shouted. Yamada looked at her for a few moments, then nodded. "Then do we have a contract?" she out-streched her hand.

"We do. I accept your contract." he took her hand. Suddenly a strange mark on her forhead lit up. It looked almost like a bird. Suddenly he was surrounded by swirling lights of blue and green. Greens shot past him like bolts of lightning. Blues flowed by like water. Suddenly he saw nothing but white. He looked at the girl before him. The red mark on her forehead stood out against her white skin. "But, how can I get this power?" he asked.

"I shall bestoy upon you, the power of the kings, known as Geass." the girl touched his forehead with her finger, and a light erupted engulfing him. He felt a sudden pain on his chest. He looked down at his body and watched as the white eroded away to reveal a symbol that looked like the one on the girl's forehead. The light receded and he returned to the field he was standing in. He looked around and saw nothing that wasn't there before. He looked at G.G., who stood off to one side. He looked down at himself. He didn't look different, he felt kind of different, but he looked exactly the same. "You now have the power of the kings. You have Geass." she said looking off into the distance.

"What exactly is Geass? Tell me what did you do to me?!" Yamada asked in a panic. The girl reached into her breast pocket and took out a small mirror.

"Look for yourself, you are now not yourself, and yet, you are everyone." he took the mirror and looked into it. Looking back at him was not his dark blue eyes, or his onyx hair, but violet eyes, and light brown hair.

"I'm,...I'm Rolo." Yamada uttered in disbelief.

"You are whoever you want to be." G.G added. Yamada reverted to his old self. He tried to change again, but he couldn't. "There are drawbacks to your power, just like there are with all powers." around a minute or so later, Yamada became Lelouch.

"Theres a time difference." He reverted to himself. "I was Lelouch for around 10 seconds which means, 8...9...10." Yamada became G.G. "Exactly, I need to wait however long I used it before I can use it again."

"Just for the record, it doesn't affect me. I've only seen you as you this whole time." G.G. walked to the other side of him.

"G.G., I'm thankful to you for this power. Now what is your wish?" Yamada asked, bowing to her.

"You shall answer my wish in time. Until then, you are to call me Gigi." she turned back to him.

"Why didn't you just introduce yourself as such then?" Yamada asked, a hint of amusment in his voice. She glared at him.

"Don't test me boy! I can take away that power just as easily as I gave it to you! So don't anger me!" Gigi shouted. Yamada waved his arms in front of him.

"Alright, alright, I'll call you Gigi." Yamada said with a nervous laugh.

"We are now accomplices, comrades, friends. Am I clear?" Gigi asked. Yamada smiled at her.

"As crystal, my friend."


Yamada ran with the small group down another hallway. He looked back at Gigi and then ahead of him again. The came to an elevator. The door began to open. The small group of people stopped. XingKe pulle dhis sword from it's place at his side. The doors opened, and out ran the small Chinese Empress, Tianzi. "Xingke!" she shouted as she ran to him.

"Empress Tianzi?! Thnak god your safe!" he hugged the small girl.

"Those people saved us." Tianzi waved her arm at the group still in the elevator. Inside were the hostages, as well as Lloyd Asplund, Cecil Croomy, and Sayoko Shinozaki.

"Lord XingKe, we are your allies." Sayoko stated. Kaguya walked from the elevator.

"You would betray Lelouch?" XingKe asked.

"We were threatened. But now that Lelouch is gone..." Sayoko began, but Kaguya cut in.

"At the very least, I believe we can trust them on the basis that they don't support a tyrant." Kaguya said.

"Very well." stated XingKe. XingKe and the rest of his group began to make their way back through the Avlon to where their Knightmares were at. They made it to their landing point and jetisoned from the Avalon. Yamada and Gigi were behind XingKe and his ShenHu. The ShenHu had been damaged previously by the Lancelot, leaving it's flight capabilities at around fifty percent performance. It charged for the Damocles. Yamada and Gigi followed close behind.

"Yamada look out!" Gigi announced. Yamada turned and saw a Gareth firing a hdron cannon at him. He suddenly saw himself unable to move. Soon a Black Knightmare, his old Akatsuki, flew in front of him. It was Gigi.

"Gigi! What are you doing?! You'll be killed!" Yamada shouted.

"Who are you talking to again?" she smiled and let out a small laugh. "Besides, you need to survive, we have a contract, remember?"

"Ah, yeah. Be safe, my friend." the Akatsuki was hit with the blast, and the cockpit ejected form the back of the machine. "Now to deal with you!" Yamada charged at the Gareth. The Anzen Koushi lifted it's arms and fired a barrage of bullets from its wrist mounted machine turrets. The Gareth was hit by them all, and the machine exploded.

Gigi rocketed in the direction of the Da Longdan, the Black Knights waterbound base. The cockpit crashed into the water. Gigi climbed out and looked at the ship, and Kaguya standing on the main deck. She smiled at Gigi, who smiled back. "Are you alright Miss Gigi?"

"Yes, thank you Lady Kaguya. I'm fine." Gigi climbed out of the cockpit and into the small boat that was sent to her. She made it back to the ship's deck when there was another crash. It was another Knightmare cockpit, only it was pink in color. The hatch opened and out came a familiar head of green hair. Her head turned and staring at them were amber colored eyes. "C.C.!" C.C. looked up at the sky, looking up at the Damocles. She was completely silent, until Kaguya spoke.

"The Treacherous knight, Kururugi Suzaku, has been defeated. Won't you plead for your life, for his sake?" Kaguya smiled a bit.

"Kaguya, you didn't know of Lelouch's true face until recently." C.C. began

"And what of it?" the young girl asked.

"Yet you were able to understand one part of his true nature. You are such a gentle person." C.C. concluded. Kaguya looked a bit surprised, or depressed.

Meanwhile, Yamada had met up with Sakura, Minato and Ayame. "So everyone is okay now?"

"No thanks to the womanizing show off! Nearly got his ass killed at least five times!" Sakura shouted at him. Minato ignored her, continuing his unaffected attitude. "Other than that, we're fine. Thanks to you, Kazuma."

"Me?" Yamada asked surpirsed. Ayame cut in.

"If you hadn't saved the back half of the Ikaruga, than all nergy fillers would've been lost. Thanks to you, we were able to save a vast majority of them, and refuel our remaining forces. In other words, we owe you." Yamada smiled at the normally serious girl's kind words. Suddenly, there was a pink light behind them. Yamada turned and saw the exploding FLEIA.

"Look out!" Yamada shouted, attempting to fly away, but th epull of FLEIA's collapse stopped him from making it anywhere. All four machines were pulled towards the blast.

"Schneizel has kneeled before me. Now, Damocles and FLEIA are both under my control. The Blakc Knights do not possess the power to fight against me anymore. However, if they insist on rebelling, I shall have you know the power of FLEIA. There are no longer any obstacles to my hegemony. Today, as of this moment, the world is in my hands. Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you, obey me world!" the area around them began to erupt into a chant.

"All hail Lelouch! All hail Lelouch!" they chanted. It was all over, the Black Knights had lsot, the world was his.


It's been two months since the battle of Mount Fuji. Yamada stood on the transport vehicle, stuck to a blakc platform and in a straight jacket. He listened as the newscaster "praised" his older brother. Nunnally sat, shackled to the base of Lelouch's transport. Schneizel, was wrapped in beige rags, and held to a black stand by large gold chains. Yamada stood next to Kallen. Suddenly, everything stopped. Yamada looked ahead of them and saw, no, it couldn't, be, he saw, "Zero?!" Yamada said in disbelief.

"No way! Lelouch is right there!" Kallen shouted. Yamada looked over towards Lelouch, who looked just as surprised as anyone. "Could it be...that what Lelouch was trying to do was..." before Kallen finsihed, th enew Zero flung open his cape,a nd began running down the street towards the Knightmares. The Knightmares shot, but Zero dodged them all.

"No, that couldn't be. Kururugi?" Yamada thought. The Zero jumped up the main Vincent and jumped forward. He ran onto the main transport.

"Don't fire!"Jeremiah shouted. The blade extened from his wrist, "I shall take him on!" Jeremiah charged. The Zero jumped up and pushed off of Jeremiah's shoulders. Jeremiah began to fall. Yamada looked at him, and, was Jeremiah smiling? The Zero jumped and landed behind Schneizel, then in front of Nunnally. Then he leaped and stood before Lelouch.

"You cretin!" Lelouch shouted he pulled a gun from his coat, which the Zero quickly knocked away with his sword. The Zero pulled back and held the sword ready to strike. Yamada's eyes went wide. Kallen was shouting something that Yamada really didn't understand. Ohgi and Tamaki were shouting too. Tianzi turned away from the scene, with XingKe staring down at her. The sword thrusted forward, and impaled Lelouch. The emperor's eyes widened as he clutched the wound. He looked like he was muttering something to Zero, but Yamada couldn't tell what it was. The blade was pulled from the body, and Lelouch tumbled forward, and landed in front of Nunnally. Nunnally looked down at the body of her brother. Nunnally grabbed Lelouch ahnd and held it to her face, starting to cry. Yamada looked at Lelouch and read his lips.

Yes...I...destroy...worlds...I...create...worlds..." Lelouch's eyes closed. His head fell limp. Lelouch was dead.

"Brother! No! Open your eyes! Brother! BROTHER!" Nunnally shouted. Everyone just stared in amazement and shock as the Zero swund the blade, blood spattering from it. Corneilia ran out of a building near by.

"Lelouch the demon has died! Release the hostages!" she threw her arm in the air. A small group rushed from the building. Soon, everyone was charging to the prisoner transports.

"This is bad! Retreat!" Jeremiah shouted.

"Could it... really be...?" Tohdoh began.

"It's Zero." Kallen interjected. Tohdoh turned to her, a bit surprised. "That's,... Zero!" she had tears in her eyes. Nunnally started crying hysterically into her now dead brother's coat.

"Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!" the crowd started chanting. Yamada simply looked away, as a few lone tears fell from his face, over his lost brother.


It has been another month since the death of the one who will be known as Lelouch the Demon. But Yamada knew the truth. He knew what Lelouch had done. Perhaps it was easier for people to accept a person as the symbol of hate, rather than the machine known as Damocles. All the time that had been put into war is being redirected onto the poverty and hunger of the world. People are gathered at the table for negotiation and talk, just as it was meant to be. Yamada stood outside of Kallen's building, waiting for her to ome out for school. She ran out the door, her hair flaired out, with the Guren's key around her neck, and a piece of toast hanging out of her mouth.

"O-oi! Kallen! Wait up!" Yamada ran after her. The two students ran down the street, heading for Ashford Academy. After the death of Lelouch, Kallen had abandoned her frail appearence and rejoined Ashford. Yamada did the same, he rejoined Ashford, being called a hero for taking down Lelouch the demon. Yamada always said he was not a hero, he was just himself. He was sitting in one of his classes looking out the window, when he remembered all that had happened in that month since Lelouch's death. Ohgi had been elected the Prime Minister of the United States of Japan, and Nunnally was an important diplomatic figure for Britannia. She was accompanied by the new Zero, who Yamada still believed to be Suzaku, as well as his older brother Schneizel. He remembered seeing so many people at Ohgi's and Viletta's wedding. He remembered seeing Anya, and she had said she was joining Jeremiah in Britannia in starting an orange grove. He remembered seeing Empress Tianzi, no, she is not jsut the Tianzi, she is Jiang Lihua, the thirteen year old roped into politics because she was forced to. She returned to the Chinese Federation and is currently runnign the country with the help of Li XingKe's forces. Yamada did not see XingKe himself though. Xianglin said that he was staying the Chinese Federation for the time being. Gino was there as well, though he never really said what he was going to do. Rivalz returned to Ashford, not like he really left though. Cecil and Llyod returned to Britannia as well, along with Princess Corneilia and her knight Guilford. Milly continued her work as a news anchor, and Nina went to Britannia with Lloyd and Cecil and is trying to make the world bette,r after he development of FLEIA, she keeps tinhking she needs to repair the world. He couldn't remember, but Yamada believed that Lakshata had gone back to India with her research team, to try and outdo Professer Lloyd no doubt. Tohdoh and Chiba had gone back to being normal Japanese citizens. Yamada wondered if they had started dating yet. It was obvious they liked each other. Y amda let out a small laugh.

"Is something funny back there Mr. Kazuma?" the teacher asked.

"No Ma'am, sorry." Yamada smiled nervously. He reutrned his gaze to the window as soon as sh elooked away. He was happy, people were finally in the world they desired. They finally had the future. The bell sunded, and the final class ended. Yamada walked out of the room and looked around. Maybe he'd go to the clubhouse. They had recently finished repairs on that part of the building, so you could go there now. On his way there he heard a familiar voice.

"Ah! Yamada!" it was Kallen. She ran up to him in the hallway. Her hair flaired out and the Guren's key still around her neck.

"Oh, Kallen-senpai! Hey! I was just heading for the clubhouse. Wanna join me?" Yamada asked, motioning in the direction.

"Sure." Kallen smiled and followed.

"Hey Kallen, do you know what happened to any of the other Black Knights?" Yamada asked. Before Kallen got any words in, Yamada was tackled by a familiar force. He toppled to the ground. "Good to see your back at Ashford Miss Musashi."

"Since when do you call me Miss! I'm your friend dumbass!" Ayame pulled Yamada up and pushed her fist into his skull jokingly.

"I'm trying to be nice, now as I was saying-" Yamada was cut off.

"If I remember correctly, Minato is living somewhere near here. And I believe Sakura went to India with Anju and Lakshata. Tohdoh and Chiba are living outside of th ecity, together if I remember correctly. About damned time. Ohgi and Villetta are living happily I think shes around 4 months pregnant now. I can't think of anyone else." she put her finger to her chin in thought. "Nope! No one!"

"Well thank you ya bimbo bitch but I wasn't askign you!" Yamada shouted, getting in the girl's face.

"Well sorry! I gave what you wanted didn't I?!" she shouted getting in his face as well.

"Knock it off!" Kallen back handed the both of them. They turned away. "Now apologise!" Kallen shouted.

"Sorry." they said in unison. They made their way down the hall to the door to the clubhouse.

"Well, here it is, the old clubhouse. We sure we wanna go in?" Yamada asked, reaching for the handle. The two girls nodded. Ayame put her hand on the handle.

"Alright let's go." The two former teens pushed open the door. They looked around. Everything was back to normal. They all walked in and admired their old hang out spot, when they heard something. A loud crash came from the upper levels.

"What was that?!" Kallen shouted, looking around. Suddenly the door flew open, and in ran Gigi.

"Gigi? What is it?" Yamada asked.

"Where is she?! I know shes here!" Gigi shouted.

"Wheres who?" Ayame asked. Then it dawned on Yamada.

"Come on!" Yamada ran for the stairs. The three girls followed him.

"I was right! You are here!" Gigi shouted running past the group. There on the floor, amongst a fallen silver tray, and shards of broken glass, was a girl in a black skirt, with a red corset and a white blouse. Her long green hair was pulled into a huge braid going down her back. Her yellow eyes looked weary. It was C.C.!

"C.C.! What are you doing here?!" Yamada shouted running to her side.

"I need...your help..." the green haired girl panted.

"Why? What happened? Why are you like this?" Yamada looked at the wounds. They looked recent. They couldn't be more than a day old. "Why aren't your wounds healing? I mean you can resurrect in seconds but you can't heal simple wounds with your code?"

"Thats...just it." she panted. Her hand grasped the wound on her other arm. "I don't have my code anymore!" Everyone went wide eyed.

"You don't...have your code...?" Yamada sked. He took a step back.

"C.C.! Who did this to you?" Gig asked starting to cry.

"Lelouch Vi Britannia." she uttered. Her eyelids slid over her eys, and the girl embraced unconciousness. Yamada looked down as the other girls helped Gigi pick up C.C. and head out the door.

"Yamada! Clean this place up while we take C.C. to the infirmary!" Kallen shouted as they ran for the door. Yamada stood silent. He stared in front of him, not looking at anything.

"I knew things couldn't be this great! Lelouch, what in the world have you done?!"
